Profile

This venue is closed.

Perhaps in emulation of nearby Jackson Diner—one of the multiculti neighborhood’s biggest success stories—this vegetarian restaurant has picked a name that conjures short-order cooks flipping dosas like pancakes. Rather, the chefs stay behind the muted beige-on-beige scenes, customizing the signature oversize crêpes made from fermented rice or lentil flour. Plain filled with masala potatoes. Butter filled with spinach. Pondicherry for fire-eaters. Or our favorite, lacy rava dosa with chili paneer, a spiced soft cheese that melts on contact with the hot crêpe. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Extra

Live music begins each night at 10 p.m. after the kitchen closes and continues until 3 a.m.

If you go late enough you might catch the live music (think David Lynch does bollywood in your parents basement). The Rasam soup is awesome, the special rava dosa is very good as well. The downside is that the servers are slow and not very attentive, and like most restaurants in the Jack Hts. area, the place could probably use a good hosing down.

They are a rip off. There was an increase in amount in my bank statements than what I actually paid them.
